abstract

The main objective of this study is the quantification of the end-of-life decisions in Flanders in quantitative terms. Therefore, the study design should give reliable estimates of the frequency of these decisions in medical practice. The degree of reliability of estimates is important for answering the above explorative research questions. Therefore, a national cross sectional survey among Flemish physicians is the most appropriate study design.
